Techniques for improving ride experience provided by a virtual reality ride system, which includes an electronic display that presents virtual reality image content to a rider of a ride vehicle, sensors that measure sensor data indicative of movement characteristics of the ride vehicle, and virtual reality processing circuitry. The virtual reality processing circuitry determines a predicted movement profile of the ride vehicle based on the sensor data, in which the predicted movement profile indicates that the ride vehicle is expected to move a predicted movement magnitude during a predicted movement duration, determines a target perceived movement magnitude greater than the predicted movement magnitude by applying a movement-exaggeration factor to the predicted movement magnitude, and determines movement-exaggerated virtual reality image content to be presented on the electronic display at least in part by adapting default virtual reality image content to incorporate the target perceived movement magnitude.

The present invention is directed to devices, systems and methods for coordinating water-related experiences with virtual reality content. In one aspect of the present invention, a method of providing a virtual reality experience to a rider moving along the surface of water is provided. The method includes the following steps: providing a headset to the rider, wherein the headset is placed over the rider's eyes; providing a surface of water along which the rider can travel; collecting data on the rider's acceleration, velocity or orientation through interaction of the headset with signals generated next to the surface of the water along which the rider travels; using the data to calculate one or more values that are used to coordinate virtual reality content with the rider's position along the water surface; presenting the virtual reality content to the rider through the headset, thereby providing a virtual reality experience to the rider.

A construction method and operational process for the implementation of a condominium and/or subdivision with the creation of artificial beaches for bathing in the format of isles and/or peninsulas and/or bays and/or lakes and/or the like is disclosed. More precisely, the construction method for the implementation of a condominium and/or lot subdivision, includes blocks (Q) of lots (L) in the format of an isle (I) and/or peninsula (P), allowing the implementation of watercourses (1) forming said isles (I) and/or peninsulas (P), that contains the lots (L) of the condominium, with the formation of artificial beaches (2) in the perimeter of said lots (L) composing said subdivision. The watercourses (1) are appropriate for contemplation and bathing by the condominium members, including the possibility of creating waves or ripples (18).
